Tutoring For Success

About

My name is Jonathan Hoffman. I graduated from Yale, taught high school, went into business, married, had four children, and after retiring wanted to work with students.

Courses/Programs offered

Math and SAT Prep You might think that I work only in phonics, reading and literacy. But I’ve always loved math, and because of my ability to coach in math and reading, I have enabled many students to improve their scores on the SAT and ACT.

Writing I teach writing to students of all ages, and have developed a curriculum that begins with foundational skills and builds on key words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and full essays.

Phonics and Reading I had learned about the Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach to teaching literacy. OG is a multi-sensory approach to teaching language skills. OG remains the gold standard for teaching literacy at schools which specialize in dyslexia and at some of America’s most selective private schools.

Simplifying Writing I can once again put to good use the writing experience from college. And because OG presents a sensible, accessible approach to writing—building on keywords to make phrases, sentences, and paragraphs—I have helped students organize and create excellent written assignments.
